Utes win, Utes win, Utes wiiiiin.; 10:33 PM

Anonymous said...: Ok, if USC deserves part of the title, so does Utah. Just saying...; 10:34 PM
Unknown said...: I wonder what the headlines will be?

Mormons stomp mud hole in Tide?; 10:34 PM
Monica said...: I think so too, Sensi (about the nails and the title) :-); 10:35 PM
AUWade said...: Zhoopie, look pretty p'd on that last sideline shot.; 10:35 PM
Monica said...: lol @ get on your bikes; 10:35 PM
Unknown said...: I am with you Sensi. USC deserves a share of the NC too.; 10:35 PM
Zteven said...: I want another Touchdown! And go for the 2 point conversion!; 10:35 PM
Kathy said...: So this is Urban's senior class.; 10:35 PM
Monica said...: Mormons beat Morons; 10:36 PM
Spongeworthy said...: How bout Utes make Saban Puke; 10:36 PM
Unknown said...: Maybe Tide goes out would be a better headline, or possibly low Tide.; 10:36 PM
AUWade said...: Mr. S, wonder if the media will ask Urban Meyer about that again? Should be interesting. Too bad it won't happen.; 10:36 PM
Monica said...: not that i think everyone in utah is a mormon; 10:36 PM
Unknown said...: Utes make Uterus our of Tide?; 10:37 PM
Jet said...: Utahans are a very environmentally conscious people ... they ride bikes to save our planet.; 10:37 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: Yeah, Mikal. I always had a dislike for Florida (Spurrier was an ass...), but it turned into full on hate when I moved into this lovely state and realized the evil parallels between their fan base and the bamzo bammers.

If I make it out to Park City to snowboard any time soon, I may try to buy my sister's bammer husband a Utah hat. He probably won't understand why its funny, though.; 10:37 PM
Zteven said...: ... not that theres anything wrong with being a Mormon.; 10:38 PM
Anonymous said...: It won't happen, but it should.

Don't forget to tune in tomorrow at 9:30 am Central Time for The Gridiron Breakdown.; 10:38 PM
Unknown said...: Monica, not everyone in Utah are mormons. They do have tourists too.; 10:38 PM
Howard said...: Nice little AU shout out!; 10:38 PM
Monica said...: no wonder Daryl Johnston has been a bamer lover!; 10:38 PM
Kathy said...: Sack #8 I think.; 10:39 PM
Anonymous said...: Those Utah fans all look like members of the Osmond Family; 10:39 PM
Will said...: This will be the loneliest night on Bourbon St ever. Mormons don't drink!; 10:39 PM
Jet said...: Big Love for the Utes!!!; 10:39 PM
Howard said...: Clearly, Johnson's still bitter about that tie.; 10:39 PM
Monica said...: Not that there's anything wrong with being a Mormon. Exactly.

I think that last sack was for, Monica. That's what Monica thinks.; 10:39 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Ouch. Well, that's a wrap.; 10:40 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Hope JPW doesn't have to go to the podium like Brody. They may sack him there too.; 10:40 PM
Monica said...: Wow these Utes have played a heckova game.

lol @ Big Love; 10:40 PM
Unknown said...: Man, that dude was hurt and then his teammate comes up and jumps on him.; 10:41 PM
Will said...: Mon goes 3P like a champ!; 10:41 PM
Kathy said...: Utah played a great game.; 10:41 PM
Monica said...: Jet trained Monica, Will.; 10:42 PM
Unknown said...: So, does this hurt Bama's chances at the national title? You know, they were undefeated in the regular season so maybe the post season doesn't count.; 10:42 PM
FSJ said...: Well that sucked.....; 10:42 PM
Will said...: This is be-UTE-iful!; 10:43 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Utes show how important the QB is to the spread. if they had our QB, well, I don't even want to think about it.; 10:43 PM
Howard said...: g'nite hotties. Maybe more coaching news tomorrow, or you think we'll have to wait until next week?; 10:43 PM
Monica said...: somebody won some good money tonight

Undefeated Utes.; 10:43 PM
mytommyd said...: So that's the pride of the SEC West. Wow.; 10:43 PM
Unknown said...: Sorry about that FSJ. We have all been in here tearing up over it for hours now.; 10:43 PM
Monica said...: Goodnight Santa.; 10:43 PM
Jet said...: Monica, Jet says sometimes it's OK go 3P.; 10:44 PM
TB said...: good night all; 10:44 PM
Monica said...: That SOOO didn't suck!

;-); 10:44 PM
Jet said...: later kids ....

Happy Ute Year.; 10:44 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: Woo Hoo.

Now....Boomer Sooner!!!; 10:45 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Could be a little preview of next year for the tide. Lose smith and cauldwell, JPW and the two tight ends. Hard to play in the SEC w/o experience at QB and O-line. As bad as AU was, if we had a qb, we win at least 7 or 8 games.; 10:45 PM
Anonymous said...: Note to recruits......Bammer sux.

Go to the Plains.; 10:47 PM
michael said...: Life in Alabama just became a lot more tolerable for the foreseeable future. Thank you, Utah. Maybe someday you will understand how much we love you right now, but probably not.; 10:47 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Goodnight all.....Happy Ute Year and War Eagle!!; 10:47 PM
Zteven said...: well put, Michael. Goodnight, all...; 10:48 PM
Unknown said...: Sponge, our QB wasn't our problem. Bad coaching, the offensive line, and bad receiving were the main culprits. Both Todd and Kodi were okay QBs, but certainly not great.; 10:48 PM
Emmett said...: I had never seen this before:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_muvMu2n85Y

Got to love the Simpsons; 10:48 PM
Unknown said...: Amazingly enough, Ole Miss has looked like the best team in the SEC in the post season.; 10:49 PM
Monica said...: Dang that was FUN!

Goodnight hotties.

War Damn Utes!; 10:49 PM
Emmett said...: Ole Miss will be the Pre Season pick for the West; 10:50 PM
mytommyd said...: I haven't looked through all the notes but wasn't Auburn's offense supposed to look like Utah's did in the first quarter with the no huddle built for speed thing? If we could have been half that fast and accurate we could have definitely been better this year; 10:50 PM
Kris said...: Don't forget bama has only nine seniors, fewest in the nation.....thank God I don't have to hear that line again this season. What they leave out is that all nine are STARTERS....you know, kinda like the stain remover infomercials...they leave out the part that in removing the wine stain from your carpet, said product also burns a hole right through your freaking slab.; 10:52 PM
AUBigCat said...: What a great night of football!!! Go Utah!!!!! It is such a shame they dont get a chance to play for the official title.; 10:55 PM
Spongeworthy said...: ZSteve. Don't disagree with most of what you said, but chris Todd had two good passes per game in him and held the ball for 6 seconds, way too long. Kodi would have been better if we started off w/ him 1st of the year. He lost confidence after 2nd game.; 10:55 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Night ya'll!; 10:56 PM
Kathy said...: Goodnight Hotties. Thanks for adding to the enjoyment of that great game.; 10:57 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Kris, second that. Their seniors were key key players and team leaders. Saban is a good coach however. I don't think they crash and burn. But, competition will be better in 09 in the sec west.; 10:57 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I don't know where that LB stuff came from ...

Lutzenkirchen is playing on FSN Pacific right now. It's the Offense-Defense Bowl or something like that. They were just highlighting him and talking about Auburn ...

Cotton is playing QB as well.; 10:58 PM
Will said...: Great FB game...even if you don't hate UAT.; 11:00 PM
AUfan said...: And as far as Andre Smith not playing- Smith doesn't play on defense. That was an offensive clinic by Utah.; 11:00 PM
Kris said...: True, but the left side of that line got worked by the Utah defense.; 11:01 PM
Spongeworthy said...: I'm out too. Just popped in to gloat a little. We sucked so bad, sorry to say I'm getting my satisfaction out of a bama loss. We'll see who else Chizik hires. Based on the names so far, we won't have to buy many vowels. War Eagle. I'm pullin for the gators. Still want the SEC to get that NC. Also, the more success other programs in the SEC have, the less them 12 nashinal champiumships mean. blahhhh.; 11:01 PM
Emmett said...: Smith will be the scapegoat for this game...It sure was great to see JPW get hit like that; 11:02 PM
Kris said...: LB stuff? Must have missed something...; 11:03 PM
Will said...: JG, is what channel on Charter Communications? I would like to watch that.; 11:03 PM
Kris said...: Nothing quite like seeing sarah jessica go out on her can; 11:04 PM
Emmett said...: Will its Chan. 306 in Montgomery/Prattville; 11:06 PM
AUfan said...: kris- no doubt about it, Utahs' d-line made it miserable for JPW. I just never figured they would light up Bama for that many points.; 11:06 PM
mytommyd said...: One more thing about the Utah win. Utah did this with pretty much no rushing game whatsoever. Dink and dunk passes, running the plays so quick Bama couldn't think straight. I hope this is the kind of ludicrous speed Coach Chiz was talking about for our offense, although with a much better running attack.; 11:09 PM
Will said...: My wife asked a good Q, do you think the UAT crowd views this season as a success after tonight?; 11:11 PM
mytommyd said...: I would hope they do, Will, but i also know some Bama folks (and some UGA folks) that consider anything less than an SEC title and/or a NC a dissappointment; 11:13 PM
Will said...: I saw this somewhere else....

Utah 14 points better than Bama....Bama 36...Aub 0... 14 + 36=50....Utah 50..barn 0...

At least their fans are enjoying the success of this season and not worrying about us Barners.; 11:17 PM
mytommyd said...: Just saw this on the cbssportsline page:

Share this page.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Former Miami quarterback Robert Marve may transfer to a Southeastern Conference school with the Hurricanes' blessing after all.
Advertisement

That is, any SEC school except Tennessee, Florida or LSU.

Wonder if he's looking our way, or if Malzahn may be looking his way. Is he even worth looking at? Would he "fit" the student/athlete roll we're looking for?; 11:19 PM
FSJ said...: Will:

Any Bama fan that doesn't view this season as a success is an idiot.

We were picked to finish THIRD in the west.

This season has been a great success.; 11:19 PM
Emmett said...: 31 Yards rushing, thats worse than the last time they did not have smith...it was 92 against Tulane; 11:21 PM
AUBigCat said...: Total domination by Utah on both sides of the ball. That's the first time i saw Saban get outcoached all season.; 11:22 PM
mytommyd said...: Nevermind on the Marve thing, he evidently has problems going to class.Most of the comments are "don't let the door hit you on the way out" type comments.; 11:23 PM
AUBigCat said...: Why is Marve leaving Miami anyway?; 11:24 PM
mytommyd said...: It looked like Alabama's D had no idea that Utah was going no huddle/fast paced offense. But that's what Utah normally does, right?; 11:24 PM
AUfan said...: The Oklahoma St boards are going crazy talking about Trooper Taylor going to Miami as OC or to AU as an assistant. Has anyone heard talk of him coming to AU or is this just internet talk? He is known to be an outstanding recruiter. Thanks.; 11:25 PM
Will said...: FSJ I agree w/ you man and I congratulate you on a great season. I have enjoyed your opinions over the season. I look fwd to the coming months as we approach next yr.; 11:26 PM
mytommyd said...: The article really didn't say exactly why BigCat, but I have a feeling being replaced as the starter has a little to do with it.; 11:26 PM
Emmett said...: I think Trooper has a better chance to advance if he stays in the big 12, but I will never fuss if he became a Tiger; 11:29 PM
Emmett said...: BigCat - his Dad came out today and said sorry for the comments as of late...he has prostate cancer and they were upset he could not transfer to another ACC, SEC or any Flordia School...his dad wanted him to be close; 11:31 PM
Will said...: Five effing hundred?; 11:31 PM
mytommyd said...: Here's my first attempt at a link (which is why I'm trying this at 12:30 in the morning:

Marve Transfer; 11:31 PM
astatguy said...: 2008 wasn't memorable, but 2009 is off to a great start.

War Eagle!; 11:32 PM
AUBigCat said...: Depressed apparently there is something in the rivals article about our new RB coach that indicated that Trooper might be on his way to the Plains too. Seems unlikely since he is an OC and coming to AU would seem like a demotion; 11:32 PM
Guruwill said...: AU rivals site is confirming Chizik is trying to lock him down(Trooper Taylor). He has never called plays before so I doubt he goes anywhere as a solo OC. Miami is going after McElwain(?)supposedly. Luper is a solid recruiter but Taylor is one of the best. Getting him and Garner on the same staff would be something special. Though I realize no news is bad news on Garner.; 11:33 PM
AUBigCat said...: TommyD...good job with the link!!! It took me like five tries to get it right my 1st time.; 11:35 PM
AUBigCat said...: I hope Trooper does come to AU and get our WRs straightened out; 11:36 PM
Emmett said...: I still have Tracy Rocker as #1 on my coaching wish list...he has done some great things with some less than great D-lines at Ark and Ole Miss; 11:37 PM
mytommyd said...: Thanks BigCat - Actually thanks go to Zteve. He gave me all the html coding stuff.; 11:37 PM
Emmett said...: Rocker also did a great job at Troy too; 11:37 PM
astatguy said...: If the numbers on the net are right we really are paying what it takes to get top assistants. Trooper may get a large payday to take a "demotion".; 11:38 PM
mytommyd said...: So I didn't see anything official, but is it understood that Curtiz is going to be the new RB coach?; 11:39 PM
Emmett said...: Trooper would whip the WR's in shape for sure, if he does not kill any of them first; 11:39 PM
barkley for governor said...: gooooooooooooo UTES.

fsj, how did you like your sneak preview of 2009?

well, i guess it will be a little different since you all will have a first year starter at qb who won't know what to do when he's being chased out of his shoes. what a beautiful night. i love utah; 11:39 PM
astatguy said...: Think about it. Bama's paying Saban $4M a year. We can load up on great coaches and come in under that number.; 11:40 PM
AUfan said...: Guru, I was all on the Garner welcome-wagon, but I don't think it is going to happen. IF Trooper Taylor comes to AU, it would help my feelings tremendously regarding recruiting. I don't think he is RG in recruiting, but he is still top-notch. He is very good at relating to the players, and I believe he is well thought of as a WR coach. I hope this works out for AU.; 11:41 PM
wtc said...: Saw where someone said Brodie called to say UAT won the last three quarters tonight.

Good line.; 11:41 PM
Will said...: I'm still high on Reggie Herring. The guy has the same philos as Chiz. Small, fast LBs. Do you remember what he did w/ Sam Olajubutu? He was 4'8 and 96 lbs.; 11:42 PM
Emmett said...: I have also read that Demarco Mcneil wants to come back and take a low coaching role...and Grampa Jimmy Brumbaugh had shown intrest, even though he just signed to coach Dline at LaTech; 11:43 PM
mytommyd said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 11:44 PM
Emmett said...: reggie Herring could find a MLB out of nowhere, but I thought he had a good gig right now; 11:45 PM
astatguy said...: Garner has been at Georgia for a while and hasn't been promoted to DC. He's a good recruiter, but I understand there may be questions about X's and O's.

I'd rather get a young fire breather.; 11:45 PM
Emmett said...: MIZ - ESPN said today he just cannot go to a ACC, SEC or any D1school in Flordia...thats part of his release; 11:46 PM
mytommyd said...: Who is the guy from the Texans? Heard that he may be a possibility for DC as well.; 11:47 PM
Emmett said...: Am I the only one who thinks Rocker as a DC would make a splash, let him learn even more under Chiz. He is already getting paid DC money at Ole Miss; 11:48 PM
Will said...: I don't think the DAL Cowbos are all too happy with their coaching staff. Phillips did well to keep his job, but I think Herring is ripe for the picking.; 11:49 PM
Will said...: Scuse me...COWBOYS; 11:49 PM
Emmett said...: Which Texans Coach...Holland?; 11:50 PM
mytommyd said...: I'm kind of with you emmett. I would rather CGC take a newbie under his wing and develop him into a top notch DC. That way he may also stay more than two years,too; 11:50 PM
Emmett said...: Or Ray Rhodes?; 11:50 PM
mytommyd said...: Not sure who it was from the Texans, but one of that group that was just let go. Which may or may not be someone we would want anyway. But pro IS different from the college game; 11:51 PM
Emmett said...: I was just curious if anyone thought in that way, I like the Chiz/Muschamp type that has lots of fire and just needs someone to teach them the fine pointsa of the role; 11:52 PM
mytommyd said...: Jon Hoke; 11:54 PM
Will said...: Anyone going to the bball game tomorrey?; 11:55 PM
Emmett said...: I dont want Richard Smith, he was fired for a reason...he could not make the halftime adjust. Something that is more important in college than the pros to me; 11:55 PM
astatguy said...: I agree Emmitt. A strong recruiter, energetic leader, and teachable fire breather.; 11:56 PM
mytommyd said...: I like the way Chizik had our defense running more than Muschamp. And as I recall Chizik adjusted better at half than Muschamp did, too. And if he could teach someone how to do that, and have them stay here for a good while - I'm absolutely for it; 11:57 PM
Emmett said...: I will take Joe Hoke as a DB or Special Teams Coach, but I would be ticked if he became the DC...there are much better options; 11:57 PM
mytommyd said...: The one thing i wonder about all this Emmett is how much of the defense does Chiz want to handle? Is he looking for an established DC so he can just manage the whole gameplan? Or is he looking for an "understudy" that has a lock on recruiting?; 12:01 AM
Emmett said...: If we are gonna steal pro guys I wish we could take Travis Jones or Curtis Johnson from the Saints. Johnson is one of the best WR coaches in the league to me, and Jones just needs a chance to prove himself...he is just too loyal to his teams; 12:01 AM
AUfan said...: I felt the same way, but the hot name of the moment for DC is Ellis Johnson. Not exactly an up-and-comer, but maybe that is who Chizik wants. I have a hard time figuring out how an assistant lands a coordinator role. Someone has to give them a chance and I would like to see either Garner or Rocker.; 12:01 AM
Emmett said...: I think he will be alot like Tubby was about his D, he wants a guy that will do things on their own...but still need him a little...the prob was Tubby took too much control where I hope Chiz will step in where needed...I hate to watch coaches that dont even speak to 2/3 of their team...like Leach does or OK States coach...they are all O and let the D do whatever they want; 12:04 AM
mytommyd said...: You ready for something funny? This was in Wiki under Ellis' bio:

After Gene Chizik had been hired at Auburn, rumors began circulating that he would jointhe staff as Defensive Coordinator.

Guess it's not just us; 12:05 AM
Emmett said...: We could take a lot worse than Ellis...but he is not my top pick...I just dont want some junk throw-away DC because they focus on Off. I want to see LB's like Spikes,Dansby, and our little ball of hate....not some Bobby P team where all the atletes go to the O side and the D gets whats left; 12:10 AM
Emmett said...: Ellis is old school, and coached everywhere but Auburn in the past; 12:11 AM
Miller said...: Don't count it as gospel...cause I certainly don't have 'insider' knowledge... but I have heard Jon Hoke as the DB coach. Jet was touting Rocker as the DL coach earlier... I think that's a possibility too.

I thought the Trooper Taylor thing was a joke at first... but it seems to be growing legs. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I'd be ecstatic if we hired Trooper.; 12:11 AM
Emmett said...: The Citadel (2001-03), and at Gardner Webb College (1983). He has logged stints as the defensive coordinator at Appalachian State (1984), Southern Miss (1988-89), Clemson (1995-96), Alabama (1997-2000) and Mississippi State (2004-07).....plus a few more stops; 12:12 AM
Emmett said...: Lutzenkirchen is talking on the AllStar Game, he said he has spoken to Coach Chiz and is still planning to be a Tiger; 12:15 AM
Emmett said...: I would take hoke as DB and Rocker on Line any day, but Dunaway and Brown Radio Show was saying that Rocker makes over 300,000 a year as a Dline Coach...thats now cheap; 12:17 AM
Emmett said...: I guess Jay G is out on Bourbon seeing how wild the Utes can get; 12:19 AM
mytommyd said...: Just took a look at Sportscenter. They've got Fulmer on there. I had to do a double take, cause I didn't recognize him with a suit on.; 12:20 AM
AUfan said...: Yeah, and after Miss St, E Johnson went to Arkansas and didn't even get his bags unpacked before heading to S Carolina. He has definitely logged a lot of miles in the southeast. And earlier today Kathy(I think) said she had read that he had a million-dollar buy-out for taking another job if it was not a HC job. I just don't see a big buy-out like that for Johnson.; 12:21 AM
Emmett said...: *not cheap..oops; 12:21 AM
Emmett said...: we can pay a mil, we just got bowden off payroll...haha; 12:23 AM
mytommyd said...: Any idea how much Nall was making?; 12:24 AM
Emmett said...: Fred Beasley is doing an ok job coaching this allstar game...lets just bring him back; 12:25 AM
AUfan said...: Have a good one guys, and thank you UTES!!; 12:25 AM
Emmett said...: If you count all the BBQ nall ate it was in the Millions; 12:27 AM
mytommyd said...: Nite DepAU; 12:28 AM
mytommyd said...: Just checked some bio stuff on Coach Luper:

A 1984 graduate of Sherman (Texas) HS, Luper captured all-state honors as a senior and was the No. 2-rated prep running back in Texas behind his Cowboy teammate, Thurman Thomas.

Wonder if they still talk?; 12:29 AM
mytommyd said...: I'm headin out too Emmett. War Utes!; 12:32 AM
Emmett said...: They are still freaking out in OK that he and Trooper are gone; 12:32 AM
Emmett said...: Night all...War Utes; 12:32 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: Two tocos & a triple layer nachos add sour cream -- 3.28

Get that in Suadi Arabi at 12:30; 12:34 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: Whoa ..... Trooper's going where?; 12:35 AM
Emmett said...: Wow, is that "The Chis from Inverness" of D&B fame; 12:36 AM
Emmett said...: Lots of talk that the OK State Rb coach Luper is heading to AU...but the OK papers are freaking that Trooper is coming too; 12:37 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: One in the same E-man.

Are you new or just realized?

And help me out ---- My wife's preggy and when she went to bed I did some house work as a suprise.

And got drunk.

Hey, waddagonnado?; 12:39 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: Where are we seeing this?

Trooper Tayler coming???; 12:40 AM
Emmett said...: I have seen your post but never when you were on...I used to email D&B all the time as Emmett in Pelham and was a mega fan before I moved this year, now I have to try to hear online...but I still email the guys...I know what you mean, Wife went to bed for me so I kept drinking too...it happens to the best of us; 12:42 AM
Emmett said...: We had it posted but I cannot find it....I dont think he would come, he is better off in the Big 12...it wont be long til Baylor will need a new coach; 12:45 AM
Emmett said...: then we talked about Ellis Johnson...who I reallllllly dont want...I want a up and comer with some fire...Tracy Rocker is still #1 on my wish list; 12:46 AM
Emmett said...: they are Rivals links, but here are a few...

http://auburn.rivals.com/barrier_noentry.asp?ReturnTo=&sid=&script=content.asp&cid=895884&fid=&tid=&mid=&rid=

Trooper -

http://auburn.rivals.com/barrier_noentry.asp?ReturnTo=&sid=&script=content.asp&cid=895983&fid=&tid=&mid=&rid=; 12:49 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: Oh and do you want a preview of my next call to D&B?

1. Auburn will be running the no huddle.

2. Utah exemplified what/how a "spread" team could run the ball up your ass and run the clock with a lead (any bammer who says this was becuase of Smith didn't watch the game".

Miss tackles and great OL play won that game for Utah.

3. This game is exactly what Bammer can expect what next season with Smith and Caldwell gone. (see Tulane)

4. Buh Bye Sarah Jessica Parker Wilson. And note that he's going to be very very hard to replace.

5. The fans on the call in show reflect what I have said all along. Saying crazy stuff while I got my 3.28 worth of food I couldn't finish - God Bless America! -

Nick Saban finds out EXACTLY who he works for in the next year. This is the BEST thing that could happen to AU fans who think Saban will leave if pushed.

12 & effin 2 in his 2nd? Guess what - Bammers, and I mean serious Bammers. The ones who paint their kid's faces. The ones who have a toilet seat cover singed by the "BARR".

The same ones who met him at the airport and got DUI on the way home ---- AT 11 AM --- are going to be there.

bottom line - he finds out who he works for in 2009. He works for the same folks who decided that Gene Stallings wasn't doing the job in 1990-something.

Yeah, the same 1990-something where the Old Dude in Brown won a national title ---- He was run off.

This is where it gets fun.

Whating Saban think he's different. He's not Gene Stallings, or Dubose or the Barr himself in 1975 or so.

Enjoy!; 12:51 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: I like you "up and coming" idea but I really would like a under 35 guy with experience calling and coordinating.

That's just me.

I'd like a guy with Florida recruiting ties.; 12:53 AM
Emmett said...: You can add what they will call the new "wildcat package" If it is Wild Tiger I may hurl..Wild Eagle i can handle...but I will always love the "War Spread Eagle" Package....just to hear the CBS guys and Corso have to talk call it...we should realy call it the "Kodi please dont screw up" package...but that is too long; 12:54 AM
Emmett said...: I really just want Rocker back, I think he would learn the last little bits he needs from Chiz...If not that I wish we could steal Travis Jones from the Saints D'Line staff he has the Fla ties....and while we are there we can overpay Curtis Johnson to come coach WR....but a man can dream; 12:58 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: Have you seen the nESPN video roaming around about Malzahn's helping Miami do it this year?

AWSOME!

Emmett said...: Who is there with the Fla Ties to bring in? Burnham from USF or his DB coach Douglas?; 1:00 AM
Emmett said...: I like the Malzone hire, and I am happy with keeping Willis...I think he is off to a good start. There are also rumors he may keep Demarco McNeil at a small coachng gig which would be great; 1:02 AM
Emmett said...: I just know the only way Rocker will come is to be a DC, esp. after Brown was talking about his pay...it was like 300,000 for a Dline coach; 1:04 AM
Emmett said...: We also talked a good bit about reggie herring; 1:04 AM
Chris in Inverness said...: I've said it over and over that college has more to do with recruiting which has more to do with relationships with high school coaches than X's and O's.

Get the players and it'll roll.

I was as much a skeptic as the next guy but Coach Chizik has a shot to make this special.

Dude, I have to finish f;ing vacuming the stairs in the basement - I've been off work and hadn't done shit -- Emmit, you're the ONLY blogger here who reconized my handle.

I hope you listen up because they're stright up!

Laters; 1:07 AM
Emmett said...: I was glad to know some of the D&B family knew about Jays blog, I grew up down here and my dad has had me reading him in the paper since he started...he does spots on the lunch radio show down here and I think he would do well up there too; 1:08 AM
Emmett said...: night chris; 1:10 AM

FSJ said...: Chris in Inverness...

Oh the irony of you talking about who Saban works for....; 8:30 AM
AUfan said...: P Marshalls' site and rivals AU site have pics of Trooper Taylor on their fronts. Hopefully there is some fire to go with all of this smoke. Garner seems to be out of the picture, this would be a very good hire for AU. Ask Tennessee fans if they want to see Trooper at AU.; 8:49 AM
astatguy said...: Phillip Lutzenkirchen is going to play some fullback at the Offense-Defense All-American-Bowl. A 6'4" 240lb. fullback would be a nice asset near the goal line.

Likes Chizik and is still "committed". Will visit Alabama and Tennessee, but probably not Florida.; 9:17 AM
Monica said...: "AuburnSports.com has confirmed that Chizik is in discussions with OSU co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Trooper Taylor." That's from Rivals.

Wouldn't it be bad to have one of the nations best recruiters. (trying not to get excited); 9:19 AM
astatguy said...: Emmett, if you think Leach isn't involved with his defense you weren't reading lips during his team huddle when OM was on their goal line. He was telling them to hit OM in their promiscuous mouths.:-) Nice call - OM didn't score.; 9:21 AM
Jet said...: Trooper Taylor is such a bad man that he will not require a "Z" in his name.

He will towel-whip anyone who suggests otherwise.; 9:23 AM
astatguy said...: I wanted a 350-Z for my Auburn hot rod, but had to settle for no Z. I'll also take Trooper without the Z.; 9:26 AM
Anonymous said...: We start the show in a just a few - 9:30 a.m. CENTRAL TIME - Be there.

SHOW LINK; 9:26 AM
Jet said...: I remember being in the stands at the SEC Championship Game in 2004 ... and wondering "Who is that?!?!?"

It was an assistant coach who was yelling at anything moving, whipping the Vols into a frenzy every time they got down. You could see how they responded to him. I was thinking, "Gee, I'd love to have something like that on ourteam."

UT was the lesser team on the field, but kept battling us until the end.

The assistant coach? Trooper Taylor.; 9:27 AM
astatguy said...: No one word in the AJC about the Sugar Bowl. Must have been too late for printing. I'll have to do my gloating online.; 9:29 AM
Jet said...: A recipe for New Year's cookies I just received ... you'll love them.

1. Place Tahd in a big bowl.

2. Whip for 3 hours.

Enjoy!; 9:36 AM
